Bob Mortimer is some sort of elaborate performance art project. Not a word is wasted. "[Malmaison] is very dear to me because it's where Napoleon's house is." I think it's my favourite brand of humour, the bait and switch without the bait.
00bean00 he means when they take you one way on purpose then the punchline is unexpected but bobs stories aren't bait you just never know what's coming so the switch is just a natural progression of his insane stories rather than a purposeful suprise
The thing that makes Bob so wonderful is the unique combination of his absurd sense of humor with the kind of warmth and care for others that would lead someone to specialize in welfare law.
Bob really is a national treasure. Whatever show he’s on, he’s the best. This, WILTY, Taskmaster etc, Bob always has the other comedians in hysterics which is testament to him
Bob: I do have something in common with Tony Mortimer apart from my surname... Everyone else *slightly awkward silence as we await an beautiful Bob ramble*
The man never runs out... the cup overfloweth, but he's like the font or gift of humour that keeps on giving - they could watch all of these for Would I Lie to You and he'd still have new (completely true, if unbelievable) stories to tell
i refuse to research who bob mortimer actually is and insist on only knowing him through the lens of these panel shows and the marvellous tales he manages to spin.
Bob Mortimer, a Psychiatrists life times work, what goes on in his head is baffling. He has such a fertile comic imagination, a real comic genius. Love him, he is such a national treasure, people should take up "Cock alotting" when near him. PMSL.
I've been recently getting into all these british game shows and becoming fans of these comedians Lee Mack, David Mitchell, Bob, etc. I see this one and again all the same gang 😂. I feel like it's just different titles and all these fellow comedians just like to hang out on tv. There are like multiple shows with same cast rotating around. Lol 😆. Just have all of them in one show I suppose haha with different guests every day.
Am very late commenting but am just scrolling through videos and posts. Bob Mortimer has to be one of the funniest blokes on the planet. Have you seen all his wild stories on Would I Lie To You? He's never malicious or mean - just a joyful man.
Richard breaking during Bob’s anecdotes, definitely has that “nephew laughing during stories from his favourite uncle”, vibe. Add Bob to Greg Davies as Richard’s kryptonite (deconstruct that little statement comment readers)
I think Bob comes from an alternative reality which is set inside a sitcom world x) You know you’re funny when you make Richard break out of character #lovebob You know you’re funny when you make Richard break out of character #lovebob
@Tim Balder, there's very few funny female comediennes left in the world and certainly none in the UK. Most are one trick ponies who's act or jokes never change. They're given loads of TV work because of the PC Brigade. If they were male comedians, you wouldn't waste a rotten tomato on them.
@@brothlcreeprs, those lasses are comedy actresses so I'll rephrase my last comment. There's very few decent female comediennes in the UK who make a living from stand-up. Joan Rivers must be rolling in her grave.
